hourLearning Outcome AssessmentThe assessment methods for this comprehensive bridge project encompasses two primaryassessment methods: performance-based assessment and technical writing. The assessmentframework is structured to ensure a multifaceted analysis of each team's output, focusing on bothquantitative and qualitative metrics.The performance of the student-designed bridges is appraised according to two main criteria:data comparison, which accounts for 70% of the overall assessment, and peer reviews, whichcontribute the remaining 30%. The quantitative assessment hinges on the comparison of themaximum force sustained by structural members in both the original and the redesigned bridges.This comparison is determined by Equation (1), which

Students’ work resulted in anumber of internal posters and PowerPoint presentations at university-wide STEM researchsymposia, four senior project reports with posters and presentations, and one MS thesis. Students’designs involving a novel octocopter with overlapping propellers were also used in writing anexternal grant application. Furthermore, all students engaged in this vertically integrated project(VIP) were retained or graduated. In addition, 20% of the students obtained MS degrees. It is hopedthat this work will add to the VIP body of knowledge and will inspire readers to implement similarprojects in their own institutions.Introduction

Conversely, while Pell-eligible students also respondedfavorably to the module, they expressed significantly less agreement that the experiencesolidified their choice of studying engineering as compared to their non-Pell-eligible peers. Allgroups indicated that “interesting work” was most important to them in career selection and that“doing something impactful that helps others” was their favorite part of toy adaptation.Interestingly, we observed statistically significant connections between career interests andlaboratory interests, wherein students who selected the technical, hands-on aspects of toyadaptation as most enjoyable were more likely to select “interesting work” as their mostimportant career consideration.

These informative reports help the M.Eng. students stay fully aware ofdetailed progress. The M.Eng. students then pass along the information along with theirconsiderations for timeline and resources to the project sponsors. Faculty are copied on theseregular communications, and students are given credit for completing and sending these reportson time. The undergraduate teams meet with a course instructor every two weeks for a 30-minutecheck-in meeting, which serves to monitor team progress and help students stay on track as thesemester progresses.M.Eng.

Based on HQPBL, a PBL experience71 requires mul ple-answer, complex problems that engage students in cri cal thinking. The problems need72 to be authen c, meaning they could have a real-life impact on people and communi es outside the73 school se ng. Students need to share the results of their projects with their peers and present them to74 the public. Public may include experts and people outside the classroom.

challenge §1: evidence that boundary layers exist Create a physical demonstration to be conducted by the student themselves to see first-hand the existence of boundary layers.When the existence of boundary layers is clear, they can be analysed, which requiresapproximation of the equations of motion. It is convention to write the equations of motion andstate the order of magnitude of each term to highlight which can be neglected. A summary of theanalysis is in Appendix B.The ‘order of magnitude’ analysis lacks meaning to the uninitiated learner. Further, the commonassumption δ /L ≪ 1, where δ is the boundary layer thickness and L is its characteristic length, isnot always true and it is not clear to the student that this assumption is
